Cracker Jack Fall Protection
It was on this day in history that Crack Jack inserted a prize into their box for the first time in 1913. It was probably a plastic bookmark that no one liked but oh, well. Well, we're going to try something similar this weekend.
Here's the deal. If you spend $400 on Miller Fall Protection products. We'll send you a $50 harness for free. Yep for free.
Eat that CrackerJacks!

Companies We Work With
A couple weeks ago I shared with you a story about outfitting the hosts of Mythbusters with fall protection equipment. Did you know that we've worked with big and small companies across the country? And yes, even in Canada.
We've had the pleasure to do business with General Mills, Sara Lee Foods, and Morton Salt. This could be because I love food. Who knows? Heck, we've even worked with Shell Oil and Conoco Phillips. I wouldn't eat their product though.

New DuraHoist Products!
We've added some new products to our online store in the past weeks and I thought you should know about them. Therefore, I will introduce them to you.
We recently added a full selection of Miller DuraHoist products. This equipment primarily consists of confined space gear, but it's got a few treats in there as well.

Mythbusters and Fall Protection
Just a week ago, we worked with celebrities. Seriously, this isn't a joke, like when I said I met Wayne Newton at a Kinkos... (I still think it was him) Nope. This is the real deal. This is one myth that isn't bustable.
Well, in case the title of this post didn't give it away, we worked with the fine folks at Mythbusters. Yep, Fall Protection Pros.com has provided fall protection equipment for the two hosts to be used on an upcoming episode on Duct Tape.

December OSHA Fines
One of the things I don't really cover on this blog is the day to day distribution of OSHA fines. It feels too much like the paparazzi for me, but I still think we can learn a few things from them. The fines, not the paparazzi.

Festivus and Fall Protection
Among other things, I am a huge fan of Seinfeld. That would be the TV Show, not hillbilly speak for a fallen sign. As Christmas approaches, I'm reminded of the non-denominational celebration of Festivus. Therefore I'd like to air a couple of my fall protection grievances.

In our attempt to inform you about the regulatory bodies of the fall protection world, I'd like give you a brief history of ANSI (American National Standards Institute).

Once again it is time for some regulation review. This week we'll be going over some basic regulations for fall protection harnesses straight from the brain trusts at OSHA.

Well, I came across some recent OSHA data about lanyard damage that I wanted to pass along... Still not getting it? I'd like to give you some pointers on what to look for when your fall protection lanyard has the ILLUSION of passing inspection.
